Well despite Scotland seemingly being shut according to the usual media BS/ hype Dumfries and Galloway has had another day of clear blue skies and sunshine, and still no snow (well about an inch).

Went round Kirroughtree and it was absolutely bl##dy fantastic. An inch or two snow, blue skies, sunshine, no wind, trails frozen solid so plenty grip and fast rolling. Just myself so a very etheral ride for sure.

Sorry only got pics on phone so none to post.

Cheers

It’s a man made trail, they are always going to have plenty of grip and be fast rolling.

…unless covered by a few inches of slippy snow and ice, which I believe was the point.

Sounds ace, piccies next time please

jammmy bugger 😉 My favorite stane, always ride it when I’m up that way but its a 9 hour round trip.

Ah amazing! I was out yesterday but it was the wind that was really getting to me. I guess much of Kirroughtree is quite sheltered, apart from McMoab. Sounds like a great ride.

Hoping to go there at the weekend, its looking like one of the few rideable trails for this week.

We have only had a dusting of snow in Dumfries and Galloway so people should be fine for Ae, Mabie, Drumlanrig, Dalbeattie, Kirroughtree and the much forgotten Glen Trool 🙂

So speaks a chap who has not ridden Drumlanrig in winter! (Maybe!)

To be fair to the media… most of Scotalnd is shut so it is hardly hype

Ok here goes a first try at posting a picture off my phone (quality not superb but it gives a flavour…
